The “How To Learn Japanese” How-To Guide

Last year we started up a page full of various Japanese learning resources (and we’re still working on it, a little at a time). Japanese resources are all and good because there are only a certain number of resources out there, and we knew what we wanted to look at first. With Japanese “How-To” guides, we’re not quite as sure. We have, however, posted up a ton of placeholders for things we want to work on, and that’s where you come in.

If you could visit the How-To Guide page and look through what’s there now then come back here to let us know what you’re dying to know, we’ll know what we should work on first. We’re only planning on putting up approximately one new one per week since they take quite a bit of time to do, so your opinion will actually matter 0_0

There actually is a few How-To guides already up there, though. Three of them have to do with setting up the ability to type in Japanese (Ubuntu, MacOSX, Windows). The fourth one is a much better and much updated version of the “Gendered Language” post that I put up on Tofugu a long time ago (here’s the new Gendered Language page). I hope its new home and fancy updates will be incredibly useful to a lot of you studying Japanese (especially those of you who are worried about sounding like too much of a tough guy or too much of a whiny little girl).

So, I’m afraid that’s it for today. Lucky for you, the Gendered Language how-to guide is just like a post, so I won’t go to bed tonight feeling particularly guilty. Just the normal crying and sobbing that accompany my night terrors, nothing to do with this!
